SHEEP TROUBLE!!

We had to pop round to Chris and Sarah’s house while they were out. We let ourselves in, and turned off the
alarm, then set about the little job we had to do.

After about five minutes, I heard Lennie shouting something about
the gate being left open. I looked out
of the front window, and sure enough, we had forgotten to close the large gate
across the drive. Lennie was nowhere to
be seen, so before I went out to close the gate, I looked out of the window
into the back garden.

There was Lennie,
frantically waving his arms in the air, and making all sorts of strange
noises. I quickly popped outside,
thinking maybe some wasps were attacking him or something. The sight I saw was hilarious! He was surrounded by seven sheep, all happily
munching away on the lovely grass, completely ignoring his arm waving. However, as he got louder they began to move,
some of them going out of the side entrance to the front, then doubling back
again in the other side entrance! He eventually
managed to get them out of the garden on to the front drive, and was successful
at shooing them back out of the gate, and closing it.

He spent the next ten to fifteen minutes
going all over the garden and drive picking up an unbelievable amount of sheep
droppings, which he deposited in a bag, and put into the boot of our car! On the way home they were put into one of the
many ‘doggie bins’ in our village.

One thing is for sure, we won’t forget to close the gate
again! I must say, we had been warned by
Chris and Sarah when they first moved to that house that the gate was to be
kept shut at all times. It only take a
minute or two for the sheep to realise that a gate is open, and as if by some
sort of telepathy, they all start making for it!

That was so funny. I too wish I could have seen Len's 'Rock and Roll with the sheep' dance! Not many people get to ride around with huge amounts of sheep poo in the boot of their car. It could have been worse I suppose, it could have been Cows. Ha! ha!Love Leeta XXX

He had cows get into the garden of his last house! They broke through the fence, in the middle of the night as well! They are very large, and trampled all over his garden. They were not easy to get back into their field through the gap in the fence, in the dark!!
